Arsenal XI vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news

League leaders Arsenal travel to Craven Cottage this evening for a London derby.

In recent seasons, this fixture has become a genuine banana skin for them. Mikel Arteta’s side are currently in superb form and sit top of the Premier League. However, they are winless in their last two visits to Fulham. Therefore, they must correct that record today to maintain their position at the summit.

The Gunners should be confident of ending that run. For starters, they currently boast the best defensive record in the division, having conceded just three goals all season. In addition, their attack is firing on all cylinders, with nine different players already on the scoresheet. Nevertheless, a professional performance will be required to break down a Fulham side that is yet to lose at home.

Arsenal team news

Mikel Arteta has suffered a major blow before this match. He has received news that captain Martin Ødegaard will be out for around a month with a knee injury. Unfortunately, Ødegaard joins Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Noni Madueke on the sidelines.

There is positive news elsewhere, however. Both Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice are fresh after Arteta rested them in midweek. Furthermore, defender Piero Hincapié is finally fit and available, potentially making his debut. Crucially, the team have also passed Bukayo Saka fit to start.
